Papercut widgets on digital signage

[titch]

Hi all.

 

Wondering if anyone puts there papercut usage on any signage around school. I've had a mess around with the widgets but can't figure out how to get anything going without logging in as someone. We use xibo for our signage. Any tips or tricks appreciated!

Not too sure about the Papercut client. But would you maybe willing to share some ideas for Xibo? Used it before in a previous school and it worked really well. Going to set it up in this one when I get chance. I'm always curious how other schools use it and deploy it etc.

Couple of threads regarding content below. We have about 10 screens around school with carrying content on. Instalation was straight forward but that was with the old version and not the new docker version. We havent used that yet.

There's the status URLs which can display things like pages printed in the last hour and general papercut health? The authorization key is in the URL.

 

Options > Advanced > System Health Monitoring.

We use Xibo and that's a great idea. I shall look at the system health monitoring page.

Cheers that's really useful. Any idea how I can jazz the look of the stats up. Currently I have:

 

{

"recentPagesCount" : 1168,

"comment" : "The number of pages printed in the last 240 minutes."

}
